Quess that explains the reason thier web site was mia, damm
another one gone? has thier closing been confirmed? just when I am kinda getting close to jumping in the fire, I am from southwest
Ontario , real hard to find a selection of mfgs up here,
the import regs are crazy for us along with the us to cdn $exchange rate, makes for a real expensive cobra, If I was in the us I would have a Spf or a Back draft in a heartbeat, I just cannot
justify to myself the $57,000 they want up here for a spf compared to the us $36.000 Hey I dont know about the majority
of you boys but $20,000 extra is an *ell of alot of extra dough!!

So I have thought about the kit route, still searching up here for mfgs, It would be feasible for me to mfg my own cobras I use to fiberglass and mfg dune buggy bodies and have watched a cobra being laid up, "no problem at all! as far a chassis go, get one and
jig it! preferably from the same source, a body and chassis is fairly
straight forward to mfg, I say this about the chassis as I use to race unlimited
latemodel stockcars about 15 yrs ago and the chassis we used and built are far more advanced than most of the cobra chassis being mfg today.

The problem that I have is "TIME" I just do not have the time to start up a shop to mfg cobras, If it did happen you would see a
decent product a decent kit price, just the way I am, I have not been in contact with the guys at CSC (Canadian stock car) since the 80"s well I quess you say they were making the chassis for johnex? does anyone know if johnex were making thier own bodies? I think they were along side a shop of Big boy"s toys in Brampton Ontario that were also mfg cobras and johnex absorbed them?

You could mfg cobras out of a very small size shop on a very small
scale to keep the overhead down, anyway I quess with a few other interested parties in my area "I might be interested" Hmmm! I realy got to stop thinking about this AHH!! yes it can be done but its so much easier just to buy a turnkey or is it? well not that easy up here!

Sorry for all the babbling guy"s just cannot control that Damm cobra Fever Whew!!!!
